Arrgh! I already made plans based on having heard it'd be at 8 again next week! 3-5 is %^&#* precisely when I'm busy!

Sorry, Jeff. Everybody made a bunch of grumbly noises after rehearsal last night so we decided to switch it.

Well, I'm in. 3-5... 8-10... 25 or 6 to 4... Doesn't matter to me. This has been a great experience and I only expect it to get better. For anyone who is on the fence about attending - just show up. You will not regret it. This is an opportunity to learn and do, as well as have a great time working with some fantastic improvisors.

I can't do this next week at all, or the week after. Sunday afternoon is a busy time for me.

When is rehearsal this week and do we have homework?

Doesn't the Austin Shakespeare thingy know that the people who stand in front of the stage at the Globe Theatre are called, um, Groundlings? Hello!?

This sounds cool, Andy. Any "homework" if we wanna come Sunday?

I think the idea is, each week you are to try to expose yourself to a bit more of Shakespeare's plays:
- memorize 6 lines from a play
- read an unfamiliar play
- watch a movie version of a play
- etc.

However, my understanding is that if you are at all interested in Improvised Shakespeare you should attend and help make the workshop happen -- whether you've done any "homework" or not.

Workshop: 3-5pm Sunday

The past two weeks, the group has been thinking about rhythm... Here is Wikipedia's explination of Iambic Pentameter. This stuff killed me in HS, but now with it in the context of improv, it seems much more interesting.

Shakespeare is 3-5 this Sunday. If you've memorized some lines, come. If you haven't, definitely come. These rehearsals are a lot of fun and some hardcore improv, so step up.

Have to miss again this week - sorry but this time of year is very lucrative for us clowns.

Ditto. And thanks, Asaf, for suggesting & leading the "pass the mantra-monologue" game with our quad. That was way fun.
